Although it is a cliche, the old saying that Rome wasn't built in a day is an important one to remember. It can be discouraging to look at a great musician or a successful businessman because it seems like you will never be able to reach the level that they are at. We want to have everything that they have, and it can be hard to deal with the fact that that is not the way things work. If you look back into the pasts of those successful people, you will see that most of them were very average at their beginnings. They built themselves up step by step through hard work; it wasn't one single event that made them into who they are now.
Something that may help to overcome this mindset is to set more short term goals that are geared towards something you really want to improve. That way, you will be more focused on those goals and over time, those accomplishments will add up to something great.
Feel free to share any examples when you felt this way but overcame that mindset and ended up doing something you really wanted to do.
